I didn't like Germain. As a fully formed adult, in a position of authority, he encouraged a troubled teenager to spy on a family to gain material for writing. I thought it just he was stripped of both job and wife. I didn't feel overly sorry for Claude. Yes, his own family environment lacked the love he observed in Rafa's family, but he lacked conscience. I read the article shared in this thread and the actor who played Claude said
He's smart, but not very conscious of his responsibility
. Yes, not very conscious at all ...
In the end, when Claude and Germain sit on the park bench and feed each other's ideas for writing, I thought they both seemed quite
pathetic characters.
